Travelling to Hull:

By Car
From the West, get onto the M62 and keep on going until it turns into the A63. That’ll take you along the north shore of the Humber to Princes Quay.

From the South, you can take the A1 and come off at Newark-on-Trent (or Doncaster if you fancy) then head northeast. Taking the A15 east of Scunthorpe will then bring you over the Humber Bridge and into Hull from the south. The Humber Bridge is a toll road, but travelling across it is worth it for the view alone – current toll charges.

From the North, you can head down the A1 before joining the M62 eastbound after Leeds, or come off at York to travel into Hull via beautiful Beverley.
